Women with a family history of cancer have a higher than average risk for breast cancer. A family’s cancer history includes ovarian, pancreatic, aggressive prostate cancer or breast cancer diagnosed at 50 or younger.

Baylor St. Luke’s Medical Center recommends women with a family history of cancer schedule a genetic risk assessment. Breast oncologists at its Dan L Duncan Comprehensive Cancer Center offer at-risk women a comprehensive review of their medical and family history, genetic counseling and testing, a treatment plan for breast cancer screening and risk reduction during their first appointment.
